    Sounds to me like Dame’s attitude towards team loyalty is beginning to strike a chord with some younger players in the league. LaMelo Ball had this to say recently:

    “You supposed to just go to a team and build from there — I feel like that’s how it should be,” Ball said. “Especially when you like a high pick too, most likely going to a team that wasn’t as good, so you try to make them better. I feel like that’s the whole process right there.”

    The best part for me is that the leader of the team is saying he is buying into Billups plan and is going to stick with it even though he knows it will be rough at first.

    Crumpets are not a breakfast food you uncultured swine.

    I didn’t figure you for the prissy type who would stand on such formalities. A quick breakfast of a warmed up crumpet leftover from yesterday’s tea sounds about right.

    Maybe I'm overthinking this but it's intersting that this question came up from the one team employee in that media scrum

    I am probably underthinking it, but you lost me. Why do you say that?

    What the hell is a crumpet? Is that the modern day grape nut or something?

    And, by the way, where did this whole notion of grapes having nuts come from?

    was it planted? casey was the one who asked it while others were asking about preseason performance/readiness, etc.

    it's prolly nothing. the quotes Quick got after for his article suggest that it was simply random.

    Crumpets are the most underrated breakfast breads.

    They look to me like they'd be pretty tasty any time, but then I am an uncultured philistine.

    if you can make it in under 5 minutes, it’s breakfast.

    Crumpets are tasty.
    Not what I ate this morning, though.

    that's why you fit in so well at S2.
